Exploring Europe's Castles


Castle Stays

One of the most popular activities in many European countries include castle tours. Destinations such as Ireland and England even offer tours and special “trails” devoted to castle tours. Understanding the desire of many travelers from younger parts of the world, love the novelty of touring castles that date back hundreds or even over a thousand years, many of the more well maintained castles have capitalized on this love and now offer tourists the opportunity to make these amazing destinations into hotels.

In England, travelers have the opportunity to experience this unique way of traveling at a castle called Amberley Castle. Privately owned, this castle dates back 900 years to a much different time. History and legend are a part of what makes this such a special experience. Top it off with luxury accommodations and amenities and it is easy to see what makes Amberley Castle one of the most well known castle hotels in England today.

Heading over the the amazing country of Ireland, the land of the Celts, the options for castle hotels are quite numerous. From quaint to massive, the one thing that all have in common is their history. Of all these castles, there is one that is considered one of the most well know today. Called Ashford, this castle is privately owned and includes not only a history dating back 700 years but is surrounded by a stunning 350 acre estate s well. Grandly decorated and created with a fine craftsmanship that speaks to the history and tradition of the area, it is truly a one of a kind experience.

Scotland, France, Belgium, Spain and Austria, this is truly a unique and amazing way to explore the history and culture of some of the oldest history in the world today. Take advantage of unique and special opportunities afforded to you when you travel and make the most of your vacations.
